Everybody seems to reply with an "all or none type solution." Why not test a solution on a gate that gets hit often and then move forward gate by gate with high number of strikes.

Statistically, there are probably gates that haven't been hit in over a year. Some would say that's because snowbirds are more carefull, and others would say full time residents are more carefull. And both those accusations would ignore others (contractors, guests, etc who also use the gates. It really doesn't make any difference who hits them. Better to focus on testing a solution.
